What is Celebrity Catchpoint? All about Paddy McGuinness’ BBC game show
CELEBRITY Catchpoint is returning to Saturday night TV - with Paddy McGuinness back as host.
Here's what you need to know about the new series of the game show...
How does Celebrity Catchpoint work?
The game show requires brains and agility with one simple rule - don't drop the ball!
The Catch Zone consists of ten columns, all displaying a possible answer to the question.
A pair of contestants are tasked with answering a question, with one standing under what they believe to be the correct answer.
A ball is then dropped from the trap door above the correct answer - with the contestant underneath tasked with catching it.
This makes things easy if they’ve got it right, but tricky if standing under the wrong door.
Contestants will have to act quickly to stay in the game and win.
Who is appearing on Celebrity Catchpoint?
The show's host Paddy McGuinness is best known for hosting the hugely popular dating show Take Me Out.
Paddy made his TV debut in 1995 as a contestant on a series of dating shows, including Davina McCall fronted God's Gift.
